5/31/17 - ON HIATUS: Life's been pretty busy for the past few months, especially because of fallout from the Ghost Ship fire. I am also at my computer far less these days. I may pick this up again when things calm down some.

FIGMENT Oakland 2015

What: FIGMENT is an explosion of creative energy. FIGMENT Oakland is a free, outdoor interactive art event that brings together the community and inspires all ages in the creation and celebration of art and a culture where everything is possible. Our focus is to bring out kids and adults alike to come out and play and experience art on a participatory level.

How Much: FREE!! FIGMENT is a free, non-profit event, and we do not accept corporate sponsorships. We do welcome donations from individuals and non-profit groups so please donate to help us cover our event costs. We can't do it without YOUR participation and help!

FIGMENT Project is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, and all donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

What to Bring: Whatever you need for a day of fun. Bring a picnic, water, snacks, hoola hoop, smiles, and your FRIENDS!

What to Expect: Art and activities in every medium available… especially the art and activities that YOU bring! We'll be posting a schedule of registered art and activities.

The FIGMENT Project focuses primarily on participatory art, art that builds community through sharing, and gets people to interact with one another, talk to each other, create and share experiences together. By participating, we are building important connections and weaving the social fabric that creates community.

HOW TO HELP: We invite people to sign up to volunteer to help at the event, and sign up for our email list for continued opportunities to participate throughout the year. If you enjoy your experiences at FIGMENT, please make a donation to help us in 2015!oakland.figmentproject.org.

LEAVE NO TRACE: We adhere to a "Leave No Trace" ethic, and ask you to do the same. If you bring it with you, either take it with you or make sure it gets into a trash receptacle.

NO TRANSACTIONS: One of our goals is to create a social and creative experience uninterrupted by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. FIGMENT does not sell anything at the park, and does not allow commerce of any kind.

SHARE YOUR PHOTOS AND VIDEO: Your photos can help us promote and fundraise for FIGMENT next year! Please tag your Flickr photos and YouTube videos as " FIGMENTOakland2015." Full credit will be given each time your work is used.
